A nonplanar graph G is near-planar if it contains an edge e such that G−e is planar. The problem of determining the crossing number of a near-planar graph is exhibited from diffe...
This paper introduces a new approach to add fault-tolerance to a fulltext retrieval system. The weighted pattern morphing technique circumvents some of the disadvantages of the wid...
We present in this paper a 5/2-approximation algorithm for scheduling rigid jobs on multi-organizations. For a given set of n jobs, the goal is to construct a schedule for N organi...
Abstract. Connected dominating set (CDS) has a wide range of applications in wireless ad hoc networks. A number of approximation algorithms for constructing a small CDS in wireless...
In the last 25 years approximation algorithms for discrete optimization problems have been in the center of research in the fields of mathematical programming and computer science...
